Verbal composite words in children's speech (based on the Russian language)

The article represents the examples of Russian verbal composites in children's speech, which constitute a fairly large group of lexical units. The explanation is offered to the notion of a composite word / composite, which is understood as a lexeme that formally goes back to two or more basics or independent words, possessing a structural and semantic integrity semantically related to the meaning of the syntactic structure. The leading criteria for the interpretation of a composite word were morphological and semantic criteria: the linking of parts by a special connecting morpheme and the semantic fusion of the nomination; in the same cases, when both of these signs were not clearly visible, the only criterion for the selection of the occasional composite was the phonetic criterion - the presence of one strong stress. The following key criteria of a composite word / composite have been mentioned: phonetic, morphological and semantic, as well as the basic ways of word formation: 1) phonetic-morphological, non-suffix; 2) suffix; 3) prefix; 4) mixed, suffix-prefix, as well as syntactic methods. An attempt has been made to consider verbal composites that represent a small group of composite words in children's speech, but these composites are interesting in that they do not fit the classification of the formation of complex verbs. The main reason for this approach is the pronounced dynamism of children's statements. The children's creativity of words also testifies to the dynamism of children's perception of the life around them. Understanding a certain convention of separating composites of participles, we nevertheless cannot but note the verbal origin of the supporting component. Otherwise, the reference verb falls out of the structural-semantic analysis of children's composites, and this does not quite correspond to the real morphological-oriented palette of children's word creativity.
